Completely disagree about blacklist, not a one show wonder imo. James Spader is brilliant, currently one of my favourite actors on TV and the story line is still brilliant.
Well, apparently you aren't watching it...
Not sure where you get the idea it has 'loads of pretty faces'.
It's great 'popcorn' watching, for me.
It isn't 'The Wire' or 'The West Wing', but then, it isn't trying to be.
For me, it is the modern equivalent of shows like Mission Impossible or The Saint.
HOC though, definitely good not best TV show for me though. Game of Thrones takes that title quite easily by a country mile. HOC i found particular last series, has a good start then drops for a few episodes then picks up towards the end, imo very inconsistent. But when it is good it definitely is some of the best TV around.
I love Marvels agents of shield, even if it is cheesey (also best Female looking cast i ever seen in a TV program ;carew)
I love GOT then again who doesn't.
I love the Walking dead, even despite some episode floundering in places.
HOC / Gotham / Blacklist / Mentalist e.t.c.
I guess it depends if you have specific habits and so gravitate to certain programs or not.
EDIT: i even watch some of the BBC stuff like The Musketeers for some cheap easy going entertainment and the 100 (which to be fair the second series of the 100 really has taken the show to a whole new level, first series was pretty bad, but credit to the massive improvements in second)
I don't watch anything I think is dire, but maybe you have to for professional reasons.
Personally, I take the show on its own terms, and enjoy it.
I'm at a loose end now.
Still, at least I have the England game to look forward to tomorrow night.
;puzzled
I remember when I gave up on Heroes and Lost because after I missed a few episodes I couldn't catch-up.
Still watching House of Cards Season 3. I've really enjoyed it, but agree that it's been a bit slower than the previous seasons. To my mind, it's more about Francis and Clare's relationship this season.
I watched 12 years a slave last night. It was a good film, but not the sort of film I'd watch again.
Going to see Big Hero 6 on Sunday, and I really want to see The Tale of the Princess Kaguya as well
If there was a poor episode (in my old TV watching days) I'd probably still tune in the following week because ... my irritation had worn off/I felt it was surely going to be better this week/there wasn't much else on.
Now, I persevere through a couple of dud episodes (at most) and then think 'so many downloads, so little time, not gonna waste it on this'. Maybe it's an age thing. I find it happening with books and films too. Time was, my motto was 'I've started so I'll finish.' Now I'm 'You have one episode, If you can hook me in that time, you aren't trying hard enough!'. ;lol
So I said ;wave to new Dr Who (Capaldi) , Sopranos S2, The Following S1, Homeland S1, Fringe after S1.
Going to give Blacklist S2 a go this weekend. See how it shapes up.

24 remains my fav ;ok
;hmm
Might be time for a 24marathonfestwatch ;wahoo
8 series X 24 eps
1 series X 12
and i'm sure one had a prelude
So, that'll see me through up to the summer holidays (mid June).
Spectre trailer.
Christoph Waltz ;bowdown
It reminded me of something I had completely forgotten....
a few years back grey re-jigged our email notification sound on our old computers to make that 24 Doop-doop, dee-doop sound every time we got a new message ;wahoo ;lol
Keep an eye out for this girl Alicia Vikander, i think she is going places and reckon she will land some pretty decent and impressive roles in the future more because she is stunningly attractive but after ex-machina and this film her portfolio should shoot right up and is a good actor.
Superb show. Goes under the radar. Second season is even better than the brilliant first. ;ok
But seriously, I need to bring up Southland again. I really like this show. Probably the best cop show I've seen (not counting The Wire.)
